ABSTRACT
Covid-19 has changed the workplace, but social and gender inequalities have not. With the swift and uncontrollable dissemination of the lethal Covid-19 around the globe, countries have gone into total shutdown, with just a few critical utilities functioning. It has been months since the lockdown was declared, and every other service, is attempting to survive and continue to run through numerous other modes that include social distancing, such as the use of Video Conferencing Apps and Work-from-Home. The epidemic sickened millions, devastated economies, and reversed hard-won economic advances over the course of months. With the complexities of a global pandemic, the legal world, like all other fields, has shifted and needs to grow. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on women all over the world, exacerbating the big and minor gaps that women face on a regular basis at work and at home. Female lawyers face unique work-from-home issues, compounding well-documented attrition and promotion challenges like lack of appropriate childcare and school systems for working women lawyer, women advocates are more affected than men advocate, low wages and salaries, growing abuse rate among household advocate women during lockdown and Covid-19 is taking a heavy toll on the daily lives of women. The present paper will focus on the challenges faced by the women advocates during lockdown and suggestions for overcoming those challenges.
